So, you had a big brown box, dropped off by the big brown truck. It's not from alpine is it?

 

[tmaxxfreek]

Ok I'm not one for keeping secrets....lol , picked this up to build and play with this winter since racing will mostly be on hold. Been eyeballing them for a long time, and finally pulled the trigger. and at first glance,this is a beautiful kit!

RC4WD Trail Finder 2

Very cool, congrats buddy! Now get to buildin' so we can do some scalin'

Gotta pick up some loctite and some grease for the axles, i will get started on the chassis tonight if i get back home early enough. I need to read up on the transmission too, i havent seen anything where people have been taking them apart before the install.

I personally would take the trans apart, make sure it's greased well, and loctite all the bolts holding it together. Also, I don't know if it does or not (I know it is on the AX2), but if the shift shaft mechanism is threaded, make sure you loctite the adjuster or you'll be sorry.

Just a shot in the dark here, but is it an RC4WD Trail Finder 2?
I'm just going by the approximate size of the box it came in.

 

[Jsmith]

That sir, is beautiful. I admit my jealousy right now. Cost?

 

[Rolex]

I love kits. Even then I take them apart some more.
I agree on tearing down the trans and axles.

Just got back home from the halloween trick or treating, hope to get started in the next 1/2 hour, photos will follow.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

Got the chassis 90% complete, very enjoyable build so far, fit has been good, and missing no parts so far.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

Well i skipped a few pictures, i got wrapped up and forgot to take the pictures i intended to but here is how it sits so far.
Running gear is complete along with the steering servo.

Step one of the 3 stage paint is complete.

done a little patch work around the back of the cab, had huge gaps around it after it was glued in place.

Hope to get the cab finished today, as far as paint goes, waiting on my new tires to come in to determine if i have to lift the truck to get them to fit.

That looks like a really great project.

 

[HPIguy]

It's looking good buddy!

 

[Rolex]

Could we see the inside of the box it came in?

 

[tmaxxfreek]
